Most likely Approach Elimination of the excise tax cut appeared the most likely approach if the Senate committee Is to heed the treasury plea not to cut estl-mated ederal revenue by more than $5,000,000,000 next year. The In its first eee-sion yesterday approved cuts which would save business and Individuals $4,780,000,000. At, the same time. It considered adding special benefits for small business and returning war veter- i The $4,780,000,000 cut was based on committee decisions to: -Repeal the excess profits tax on corporations at a savings of About the Exemptions Apply surtax exemptions of $500 for the taxpayer and $500 for each dependent on an inamauar income. This would -amount to a cut of $2,085,000,000, dropping low Income persons from the tax rolls.

Repeal the $5 automobile use tax, saving motorists $140,000,000. In addition, the committee voted to freeze for another year the so cial security, payroll tax of one per cent each on employer and employe. For individuals, the treasury rec ommended repeal of the three per cent normal, tax applicable on all income over $500 a year, regard less of dependents. The House voted Instead to credit for dependents in figuring the normal tax and cut surtax rates four per centage points. 1 Follows House Lead The Senate committee followed House leadership In giving depend ency credit but cut the surtax re duction to three percentage points.

The net result was almost tne same as the treasury recommendation. In addition to relieving low-paid persons from any federal income tax In 1946, the Senate action would spread a 000,000 saving to move than 000,000 others. "'For example, a married man with a wife and two children pays about $160 on earnings ot $2,500 under present law. He would pay $95 under the House plan.

REAL FACTS ON BOMB ARE SLOW (Continued From Page 1) of the United Nations organiza tion would prevent that, they thought -Are Not So Sure, Now these people are not so sure. The last few days have seen some startling testimony by sci entists, generals and admirals before Congress; a thought-provok ing statement by a group of prom' inent Americans who met at Dublin. N. and stern warnings from such individuals as Sir William Beveridge, British economist. Some of the views expressed were revolutionary.

Prominent among them was the idea of a world super-government to con trol atomic energy and prevent disaster. Here are just a few samples: The New Hampshire meeting. in which such men as former Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts of the Supreme Court took part, recognized the danger of an atomic war which would "destroy civil iza tlon and possibly mankind A report was presented which urged scrapping the United Nations idea and forming a federal gov ernment of the world, with attend ant sacrifice by all nations of a part of their sovereignty. Urge World Bole.

Two distinguished scientists who worked on the atomic bomb in New Mexico and Tennessee also urged a world organization supe rior to national sovereignty. They were Drs. J. R. Openhelmer and H.

J. Curtis. The latter told a congressional committee that "one false move In International diplomacy might mean the virtual de struction of this country." Sir William Beveridge said In London that the United Nations charter needs at least revision to meet the new situation. "There is room and need for only one atomic bomb factory In the world, and that must serve only International purposes," he said. Representing the military view- point.

Gen. George C. Marshall; Army chief of staff, testified to congressmen his belief that a large standing army would be necessary to offset an atomic bomb attack. Vice Admiral Marc A. Mlt-scher declared that the atomic bomb and other new weapons may eliminate naval! surface craft In warfare after ten years.

These expressions cannot be dismissed as scare stuff or "nerve warfare." Thinking men are really alarmed. It also has been borne in on many Americans that It was the United States which first used the atomic bomb warfare. If it Is not controlled, the United States scarcely can make a moral i case against Its use by someone else. Nor does anyone trust a mere "international agreement" against Its use, as was attempted in the matter of poison gas. Everyone knows that all the big powers had poison gas ready in the last war, and that it was not used because no one saw any real benefit to be gained.

Harold Willey, general secretary of the tribunal, accompanied Neave and passed out copies of an article In the tribunal charter setting forth the rights of the defendants and listing civilian lawyers known to be alive in Germany.

Article 16 Of the charter guarantees the defendants full particulars of the charges against them, the right to give any explanation relevant, to the charges either at the trial or preliminary hearings, and that the trial will be conducted in a language the defendant understands. Raeder and ratzsche, the first defendants upon whom the indictments were served, were in Russian custody at Berlin. TJiey were expected to be moved to Nuernberg soon.

Howard Fletcher, former Streator young man and a student at the Teachers College, was on the battle1, cruiser Alaska when It wasa member of a task force of SO ships entering Jinsen, Korea on September 8 to occupy and liberate that country.

Oct. 10 UE The National Association of Manufac turers, hitting the administration's jobs-for-all bill as "defeatist, today ottered its own program for preventing unemployment.

NAM President Ira Mosher out lined the plan in testimony pre pared for the House Executive Expenditures Committee, which is considering the Senate-passed Full Employment Bill, i Mosher said there were three "economic errors" basically responsible for depressions and mass unemployment. He listed them as "mismanage ment" of the 'nation's money and credit system; granting of "perpetuating special' and prevention of an adequate flow Of capital Into productive job-making activities. Most Correct Errors He said the 14,000 NAM members employing 75 per cent of the nation's industrial workers believe the government must "correct these economic blunders." There is no organization In America more: seriously, or more sympathetically, or more selfishly interested than we are in the main tenance of full employment," he declared. "We cannot prosper un less people have jobs and can buy our goods." To remedy defects In the money and credit system Mosher suggested that Congress set up a special committee of experts to report on needed changes. Is Against Plots Under the heading of "special privileges" he urged the.

elimination of "all monopolistic conspiracies, whether by. management. labor or any other element of our economy." To assure a free flow of capital into "job-making activities" he urged sharp reductions In corporation taxes "to a level thai will not discourage individual Initiative" and limitation of the postwar federal budget to $15,000,000,000 an nually exclusive of debt retirement payments. Mosher said the full employment bill is "defeatist" because "it is based on the thesis that no matter what we do in the future there will be times when government must spend and invest in order to make jobs." In addition, he said, it is little more than an 'expression of "good intentions." We frankly do not want to set tle for that type of government action," he told the committee. COUNTY DRIVE PROGRESSING (Continued From Page 1) give an indication as to this phase Of the drive in DeKalb.

Evan Owen, DeKalb Township chairman, is now completing the organization of workers who will conduct a house to house canvass starting next week. The campaign in the residential section will fol low the completion of the work in the business district and in the plants this week.

The city Is being divided Into sections with each section to have a captain who will supervise the workers during the campaign. Those who have made prior contributions at their places of employment should place the stickers in their home windows so that the workers in the residential sections will not have to make a call.

MAY KEEP THE EXCISE TAXES (Continued From Page 1) discretion of the Collector of In ternal 1, Example Given. Thus, a colonel who has been out of the country for several years, unable to take care of such affairs, and returns to find himself owing a large Income tax can have three years to bring it up to date. The committee proposed a similar three-year extension for paying taxes on civilian income owed at the time the taxpayer went Into the service. i. Many of those drafted between the start of Selective Service in 1940 and passage, of the bill in 1943 still owe a tax on earnings for part of a year before they went into, the service.

Under present law they have six months after discharge pay the back tax. The committee decided they should have three years to pay the tax on earnings up' to $14,000. Those who made more than $14,000 would be presumed to be able to ma up the deficit without such relief, The Senate Committee was expected to make- a decision soon on proposals lo reduce excise taxes.

The Saratoga I considered buying. It is 809 feet and six inches long and 83 feet and three inches wide and my plan was to subdivide it and use it for building lots. The Navy said this was an idea, all Hj-ight, but had I considered how much topsoil I'd need to get a front lawn? I dropped out of the aircraft carrier market and I fear the Saratoga and the Ranger will be sawed into small pieces, melted down, and converted into baby buggies, bottle openers, and bolts. Thafs okay, too. Wanted Battleship.

What I really wanted was one ot the Navy's extra battleships. mThere are six of these, including the Mississippi, the New Mexico, the Nevada, the Pennsylvania, the Texas and the Arkansas. The Arkansas looked like the battleship for me. She is 33 years old, cost around including a moderniz ed bathroom, and should be well settled.
